Seven years ago my dad sent me on a scavenger hunt from the grave. At the end were 694 videos and the real story behind why he took his life. It wasn't the chronic pain he suffered as a result of a workplace accident, it was what came after: how hard he had to fight just to be believed and to get the support he deserved. I made this piece because his struggle can't be for nothing. If you've navigated workers' comp, disability benefits, or chronic pain — yours or a loved one's — know that you’re not alone. I'd love to hear what that's been like for you. Your story matters, even when the system made you feel otherwise.
